Have some Pepto-Bismol®, Tony. Glug down a capful, & then you can explain how Senator Demint's character was attacked. Isn't this sort of "principled conservatism" (Oxymoron much?) exactly in character for the man who beat Alvin Greene? Why is Tony so attuned to Slippery Jim's feelings? He must be very, very sensitive, if you know what we mean.The Family Research Council, an influential group with large followings among conservatives and evangelical Christians, announced a nationwide initiative Wednesday to persuade 1 million people to pray for the South Carolina Republican.
Tony Perkins, head of the Washington-based organization, said DeMint has been unfairly blamed for having cost Republicans control of the Senate by backing ultraconservative candidates who lost several key general election races last week.
“To those of us who know and admire Senator Jim DeMint, these recent attacks on his character have been difficult to stomach,” Perkins said in his daily email newsletter to supporters.
Ballots for losing candidates, that is. Will T.P & his irritating friends ever check any random poll & realize the magical base of which they continually blather is at best 20% of the American herd? And admit they're dropping like flies? (Faster Death Panels!)Perkins said DeMint, who sailed to re-election last week over Democrat Alvin Greene, had inspired countless conservative voters who might otherwise not have cast ballots.
Reached to the Drooling Loon Party, several Grizzly Mamas, & three or four militia members who wouldn't otherwise have voted. But avoiding the political/electoral issues & strategizing here by calling it an attack on the nation's moral backbone as personified by DeMint would cut down considerably on the whining time, & where would Tony P. be then?“When the establishment failed to energize the base with its moderate platform, Senator DeMint became a crusader for principled conservatism that reached beyond the GOP,” Perkins said.
Where humbled means enabled.“We want the men and women from both parties to know that an attack on Senator DeMint is an attack on all conservatives and people of faith,” he said.
His group, Perkins said, “is gathering together one million Americans to pray on a regular basis for Senator DeMint.”
DeMint spokesman Wesley Denton said the senator welcomes the initiative.
“Senator DeMint is humbled by the support of South Carolinians and others from around the country,” Denton said. “He’s proud to fight for the millions of Americans who support constitutional, limited government.”

Thanks for the help, McClatchy, but we didn't really need that much.
